I need some help with some C++ code

I've written some code for an asignment, but there are some bugs in it, and I can't figure it out. Maybe someone here can:

quote:

---

/* Computer diagnosis program */


#include <iostream.h>
#include <conio.h>
int main()

{
cout << "--Computer Diagnostic Program--" <<endl;
cout << " " <<endl;
cout << "Does the computer beep at startup? (y/n?)" <<endl;
char Beep;
Beep = getche();
cout << "Does the hard drive spin? (y/n?)" <<endl;
char Spin;
Spin = getche();
if (Beep && Spin == 'y' | | Beep && Spin == 'Y')
cout << "Contact tech support.";
else if (Beep == 'y' && Spin == 'n' | | Beep == 'Y' && Spin == 'N')
cout << "Check drive contacts.";
else if (Beep && Spin == 'n' | | Beep && Spin == 'N')
cout << "Bring the computer to the repair center.";
else if (Beep == 'n' && Spin == 'y' | | Beep == 'N' && Spin = 'Y')
cout << "Check the speaker contacts." <<endl;


return(0);

}

first big prob is in this line:

code:

if (Beep && Spin == 'y' | | Beep && Spin == 'Y')

code:

if(Beep == 'y' && Spin == 'y' | | Beep == 'Y' && Spin == 'Y')

code:

if(Beep == 'y' | | Beep == 'Y" && Spin == 'y' | | Spin == 'Y")

code:

else if (Beep == 'n' && Spin == 'y' | | Beep == 'N' && Spin = 'Y')

code:

#include <iostream.h>
#include <conio.h>

int main()
{
	char buff = NULL;
	bool beep, spin, ok;
	beep = spin = ok = false;

	cout << "--Computer Diagnostic Program--" << endl;

	while(!ok)
	{	ok = true;
		cout << "Does the computer beep at startup? (y/n?)" << flush;
		buff = getche();
		if(buff == 'y' | | buff == 'Y')
			beep = true;
		else if(buff == 'n' | | buff == 'N')
			beep = false;
		else
		{	cout << endl << "Invalid Response. ";
			ok = false;
		}
	}

	cout << endl << endl;

	ok = false;
	while(!ok)
	{	ok = true;
		cout << "Does the hard drive spin? (y/n?)" << flush;
		buff = getche();
		if(buff == 'y' | | buff == 'Y')
			spin = true;
		else if(buff == 'n' | | buff == 'N')
			spin = false;
		else
		{	cout << endl << "Invalid Response. ";
			ok = false;
		}
	}

	cout << endl << endl;

	if(beep)
	{	if(spin)
			cout << "Contact tech support." << endl;
		else
			cout << "Check drive contacts." << endl;
	}
	else
	{	if(spin)
			cout << "Check the speaker contacts." << endl;
		else
			cout << "Bring the computer to the repair center." << endl;
	}

	cout << endl << endl;	

	return(0);
}

*sniffs and gets teary*

Thanks Dingle. That code, the indenting, was just beautiful...*sobs*

Sorry about the indentation, or rather, the lack of it. I copied the code to Notepad and saved it to disk, and Notepad didn't keep the indentation.

I didn't state the variables at the beginning because I was writing the code as I thought it out.

Thanks Dingle, I'll give that code a try.
